manofstrad Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 My fault! It started off about Bin Laden's funeral, then went to Islamic extremists vs EDL extremists, then an EDL member came on and said that they were only against 'extreme' Muslims, not 'ordinary' Muslims, then I asked why, if the EDL had nothing against ordinary Muslims, did they campaign against the provision of halal meat then Frank came along and said that he had stopped eating meat as a 'precaution' against eating halal meat inadvertantly. That is how we got here. Nowt wrong with going off-topic if it leads to a reasonable discussion. John X Ah I see, thanks for explaining. I must apologise to frank, though he does seem to remember more about me than I do of him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callippo Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 totally silly discussions, and ludicrous poll. Done and constructed right, polls on internet forums can be fun, and even shed light on stuff. But that is just pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John X Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 how is halal meat prepared? That depends on what branch of Islam you follow, but generally speaking, the animal needs to be sourced from an approved person, slaughtered by a Muslim, Christian or Jew while mentioning Allah, then hung until it is free of blood. There are the usual regulations about clean tools, knives, bowls etc. That is what I meant when I said earlier that halal and kosher meat are always of higher than average quality. If you are going to be that fussy over your meat preparation, then you are not going to get it from some bloke in a van at the local car boot!

John X Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Melanie Phillips has it spot on here. Err... no she doesn't. She is comparing the actions of the SOE against senior Nazis during the war with US forces actions against Bin Laden. The difference is that we were at war with the Nazis in 1940 and the targets of the SOE were enemy combatants. Bin Laden is a criminal who should have been captured and brought to trial. Despite what many on here would like to believe, no-one is at war with al Quaeda. John X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
